HEMA Is Coming!

If you read haus maus regularly, you'll remember my whining about how I have to go two hours north by train to the nearest HEMA store and that I reallllly want them to bring a HEMA to Hannover. I wrote to the company several times, posted it on their Facebook company page, and spread my desire all over the internet and.... drum roll please... HEMA is coming! HEMA is coming! They're not coming TO Hannover (yet, fingers crossed) but they are coming to Hildesheim which is a quick train ride for me -- I think 30 minutes or less. Here is their new store information -- they open March 2nd!

My loot from a HEMA visit in 2009 with my friend Anne (enna). I know Anne will be so happy to learn that they will be in nearby Hildesheim soon. She loves them too!

Now I'm hoping they'll come to Hannover. We need them in the Ernst-August-Gallerie or downtown where the new Kröpke-Center will be. I'd love that. Hannover is a huge shopping city and draws crowds from all over the county, so you never know....

Filiale Hildesheim (ab 02-03-2011)
Almsstraße 14, 31134 Hildesheim.
Tel. 05121-2069880
Öffnungszeiten: (ab 02-03-2011)

Here is a complete listing of their other stores in Germany if you are interested...

Yipeee! Lucky you. We have 2 here in Luxembourg and another one just over the border in Arlon, Belgium. Just bought the most darling baby girl clothes there for a neighbor who is expecting. Enjoy!

Hema has been in my hometown for a long time. I saw a picture of the centre of town from the 60's recently. It already was there LOl
I love the things they sell and their nice prices.

Have a nice weekend!

HEMA is great! Living in Amsterdam, I'm lucky enough that it's more a case of choosing which HEMA to go to. :)

The Kröpcke Center would be a better fit than the Ernst August Galerie, because there's already a couple at the mall(butlers, the Swiss company one - DEKOR I think, Nanu Nana, I might have missed one more even, not sure). Fingers crossed for the Hannover HEMA store ;)

Hema is one of the things I miss most since I moved back to the States from Holland. Luckily, Husband's relatives can bring me things & they've started shipping!

Hema rocks! There's a store at the mall near my aunt's place in Amstelveen, NL that I visit whenever I'm there. Bought my favourite one-coat nailpolish there in an amazing fuschia - and it really is one-coat!

That really looks like a nice store!! If you ever travel north (Hamburg or even Denmark) you might want to stop at TIGER, too. Inbetween their palette they have some nice things, too. ;)http://www.tiger-stores.de/

Oh, I live in Hildesheim:)

I saw today the posters on the buildings, never heard of HEMA, but now I am looking foreward for the opening.
Thanks for the post!

Have a nice weekend!

I still haven't made it to the Paris HEMA (which I'm sure I learned about from your site). Working 7 days a week makes it difficult to find a good time to indulge oneself in a bit of in-depth browsing!! But this is my last weekend at my weekend job, and I have a holiday Monday from my week job, so HEMA here I come!!! I'm so excited! Happy for you that you will have one near. Good for you for your continued consumer advocacy to their HQ!

Good news! I grew up with Hema and there is a store 5 min from my house...lucky me :-)

OMG. Hildesheim? Why HILDESHEIM? Knock knock? It takes me half an hour to see their store in oldenburg (and usually freak out :)). It's lovely. But: why Hildesheim? Hamburg! Bremen! Berlin! Munich! Frankfurt :)

:) Happy weekend, Holly

The HEMA store is always on my list when I visit my family in Holland. I always shop there for my kids Pyjamas, paper goods, birthday decoration stuff, children's bags etc. It's great they developed into such a fun, modern store. When I was small the HEMA was dreadful. I would only go there once a year to get some white sport socks or some hair pins. I'm sure they would be succesful here in Munich as well...

HEMA!!! The only Dutch shop I REALLY miss here, living abroad in the UK. Also the first shop I dive into when going back. I just love the simplicity and affordable, but great design of all the products.
Homesick now!

That's fantastic! Thank you for sharing.

I know HEMA 'cause my mother is dutch and we shopped a lot at HEMA :).

Do you know if they will have the same range as in the Netherlands?

I'm from the Netherlands, and so is HEMA. So for me Hema is as regular as a cup of coffee (or tea in my case). There's always a HEMA close by, that's not even something I have to think about.
So it's a bit strange and funny for me to read about someone getting exited by the prospect of a HEMA. But completely understandable, I love the HEMA! I guess it's a bit like when Habitat would open a store here.Then I would freak out!
So I'm very happy that in the very near future you can visit it as much as I do!

Haha, how funny you love HEMA so much... I grew up with it and never think of it as such a special shop. Although I like it of course, but still... Well anyway, enjoy your new nearest HEMA! I hope it is a big one with a huge collection :-).
Have a great weekend,
love Maaike
